2.7.2 (17 January 2019)
• [*] In Plesk for Linux 17.8 and later, the extension now supports issuing ECDSA certificates. To have the extension issue certificates signed with ECDSA, add the following lines to the panel.ini file:

It's possible to give any system user a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file and add public SSH keys to that file to authorize access for anyone who has the private SSH key to go with it, so users can use things like SCP/SFTP (and SSH if they have a shell configured) safely without having to use password authentication. If would be great if Plesk allowed the management of authorized SSH keys for a user.

At this moment, there is only disk usage summary by domains. It would be great, if we could check the disk usage by folders. Best option would be expanding directory tree (just like it was done in the other known "customer Panel").

There is actually no way to create "real" "Web service only" subscription. If the subscription plan is set without any mailbox the mailservice is enable on that subscription BUT not accessible in the panel. It's necessary to change the subscription settings to access the disable button or in command line by :
/usr/local/psa/bin/subscription --update domaine.com -mailservice false
Without disabling mail_service the web service will not be able to send email to subscription's domain external hosted mail address.

It would be great to be able to set a plan of "web only" subscription to host website when the mail are hosted externally without have to do additional command line.

Users can now remove the Plesk mail service for a domain or choose not to create it when a domain is created. This is useful when using a remote mail service – mail to domains hosted in Plesk will no longer be delivered locally.

WPT 4.6 introduces the ability to clone WordPress sites via CLI (command: plesk ext wp-toolkit —clone). If you have any feedback on how this feature works, please let us know on our forum (https://talk.plesk.com)

“2.8.3 (24 October 2019)
[+] Introduced the allow-wildcard-certificates option (true by default) under the ext-letsencrypt section in the panel.ini file. If set to false, the option hides the feature of issuing wildcard SSL/TLS certificates in the interfaces of the Let’s Encrypt and SSL It! extensions.

Note: For the same purpose, users could earlier use the acme-protocol-version setting with the acme-v01 value. If you have this configuration, we recommend that you start using allow-wildcard-certificates set to false because the ACMEv1 protocol will soon reach end of life."

Since we are now able to create more than 1 Administrator within Plesk - it would be a good addition if one would be able to give those Admins particular Rights within Plesk.
I don't want my "Everyday-Admin" to be able to stop Services within Plesk or even Shut-Down the whole Server within the Panel ...

I want them to do their work with Customers/Domains/Hostings ... but access to the "real Admin Areas" should be restricted ...

fastcgi is supposed to work with the new opcache in newer php versions and we are forced to use it on the apache module. Fastcgi will always flush cache after 30 seconds. Nginx will work but requires a considerable amount of work.

Apache works but causes file permissions issues with files written by apache to be owned by apache.

Id like to see support for opcache with fastcgi, or be able to set write permissons for apache module as per domain.

Due to the issues php opcache or apc is very tricky to use in a plesk server environment.

This used to work with previous Debian versions (e.g. Etch -> Lenny, Lenny -> Squeeze) but it doesn´t seem to be possible with Squeeze -> Wheezy.

The proposed way of "updating" is to make a backup and restore it on a new server. As we have 50+ servers this simply isn´t feasible: We cannnot get a new server and transfer multiple customer domains (some using external DNS) for each of those servers. This would cause long downtimes and problems with data being transferred that is changed on the old server (from website users).

It has been possible before so it should be possible again.

This feature is already implemented in the upcoming Plesk 12.1 release. We encourage you to check the implementation in one of upcoming Plesk previews and let us know what you think. Everyone, thanks for your input and votes.
